Fireplace in winter time is such a luxury. At LV Château we are so lucky to have a working wood burning fireplace to hang around when it's subzero outside. It may be too cold to go outside to get marshmallow, crackers, and chocolate to make s'mores, but we are happy to just put our feet up near the fire with hot tea/coffee in our hands.
Fun fact: we have never put the fireplace into work until last winter because the heat in the building was always turned up to the max. We had no reason to get supplement heat source until the whole building decided to be more energy efficient and changed the thermostat settings such that the temperature is not too high during winter. Now that the apartment is a bit chilly with pajama pants and a thin sweater, we have more reasons to use our fireplace and our cat daughter also get to enjoy it too!
Sometimes I browse interior design images and saw people turn their decorative fireplace into a cute vignette and think to myself: won't it be nice to have greenery, candles, or books fill out the space? Then I light the fire and stare at it for hours to remind me the joy of flickering flame and radiated heat 🔥

It is so much fun building homes for others. Each project always has a detail that is unique from the last. This customer feel I love with a slab of granite and had us wrap the fireplace wall. It’s different for sure, but so fun to see built and can’t wait to see their reaction at today’s progress meeting! .

We have zero intention of finding out what 9 degrees feels like on our face. Stay warm!

1-19-19, that seems like a pretty special birthday to me! ☺️ Seriously though, I’m so happy to be exactly where I am at this point in my life. Blessed to have a wonderful husband and children and both of our families! I couldn’t ask for anything more. Well, I did say I really just want some chocolate today! 🍫🍫 Thank YOU for always following along. I’ll share where we’re headed in my stories today. 😘
